If you have a thing for 90s hip-hop, pixel art, and role-playing games (RPGs), then Orangeblood is up your alley. Published by PLAYISM and developed by Grayfax Software, Orangeblood announced to release first on PC (Steam) then on the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One in Q2 of 2020.

Orangeblood’s Synopsis

“WELCOME TO NEW KOZA” It’s the end of the 20th century, on a historic timeline different from that which we know. A manmade island off the coast of Okinawa is humming with a dirty, exotic vibe – and it’s awesome! Guide Vanilla, a prisoner of a gang war offered her freedom in exchange for completing a top-secret mission shrouded in mystery. Vanilla will build a crew of tenacious-yet-cute companions to help earn her liberty, and mayhem as well as sweet loot drops ensue.

Loot the best randomly generated guns and armor-boosting kicks a criminal can find, including legendary equipment featuring one-of-a-kind abilities. Take the “pray” out of “spray,” reloading tactically to keep your defenses up and using special abilities to mow down foes. New Koza is full of mobsters, robots, and other threats. A quick stop at a vending machine will refresh your party before the next gun-blazing battle.

Groove along to the hip-hop soundtrack in and out of combat. Handcrafted character sprites feature a pixelated aesthetic matching the era of the music. Jump into gun-toting action that stays fresh as the random gear system, art style, and soundtrack play off of each other.

Orangeblood releases for PC (Steam) on January 14, 2020, add to your wishlist. Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One later in 2020. You can watch the trailer and screenshots below.
